Lino is the other side of it and Ref couldn’t see it - clear as day on 1st replay but VAR not allowed to intervene. Stupid football.

And s*** goalkeeping

So it looks like Thomas Frank at Spurs... Did a really good job at Brentford, but not sure he's gonna be hugely successful at Spurs where he'll have more pressure on him as well as pressure to play good football. At least he is unlikely to set up his team to defend (or not bother defend) in such a daft naive way, which is a shame for the neutral.

My get the f*** out was for the disallowed goal. My BBC1 stream was about 4 minutes behind real time.

Playing these really important games at the end of a long season is ridiculous. Players and officials are absolutely knackered.

Also I’m pretty sure Brentford have a clear, defined strategy (something Spurs seem to have been missing for about at least half a century) and a strong record of recruitment for that strategy. Which I don’t think Frank has been in charge of, but the Director of Football.

A huge change.

Nottingham Forest complain to Uefa over Crystal Palace’s European place

Palace said to be in breach of multi-club ownership rules

Forest would directly replace Palace in Europa League

dunno the merit here, but Forest's owner is a right bell

[Gethin]

Think UEFA were already investigating this, sounds like Forest are getting shouty 'cos they want to know which European competition they'll be in.
